Post-Covid Updates —Aug. 5, 2021

Removed:

• Steel Hellkite - Honestly, this one hurts to remove, but I've never really hit anyone with it. If I really feel like I need more removal again, he mind find his way back into the deck.
• Krark-Clan Ironworks - I never really want to sacrifice my artifacts, and usually, I wind up having my turn taken by an untimely Emrakul or Mindslaver and having all my stuff sacrificed. No good there.
• Prototype Portal - This could lead to a lot of fun interactions and synergies, but I kept finding it in my hand at the worst of times.
• Karn Liberated - He really did nothing for this deck. I really just had him in there because I had the pretty full-art foil.

Added:

• Diamond Lion - Fast mana, and dumps our hand to be refilled by Kozilek. Pretty neat deal.
• Shimmer Myr - More Flash is always good. Means I don't have to rely solely on Vedalken Orrery
• Wandering Archaic  ^Flip - A recent card that is VERY nice to have. If I can sneak this out early I can benefit on others' ramp as well.
• Endbringer - Good ol' reliable card draw. Something that is so sorely needed in this deck.

Future Changes:

• Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Basically a second Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Makes my non-mana lands tap for mana.
• Urza's Saga - This card is kinda crazy. It's a land that tutors a sol ring.
• Mystic Forge - Might undergo a trial run in the deck. Playing more cards off the top of my library may feel a bit better.
• Manifold Key - It's just a better Voltaic Key
• Introduction to Annihilation - 5 Mana spot removal. Yes, please.
• Introduction to Prophecy - A decent draw option. I don't know if this will make it in, but it's looking nice.
• Magistrate's Scepter - This is a bit of a weird add. But I may be able to generate enough mana and untap enough that it could be worth it. Definitely not a solid pick.

The chopping block:

• Emrakul, the Promised End - It breaks my heart to exclude one of the Titans, but I don't get to play her that often. And when I do play her, it typically doesn't benefit me greatly.
• Solemn Simulacrum - Sad Robot IS an EDH staple, but looking at him in this deck, I don't know if he has a place. He's 4 mana to grab one land. That's a 4 for 1 return. I could add a small rock like Prismatic Lens and have a better investment.
